About Marcela
Marcela Tschang is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She works with concerns around self-esteem, relationships, depression, and issues linked to LGBT identity. Marcela speaks English and Spanish and practices from New York.
Her sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps. She listens for what matters most to each person and then shapes goals together. Marcela aims to make the work feel manageable, one small change at a time.
Background and approach
She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also incorporates EMDR when people bring traumatic memories that keep affecting daily life. Together these approaches are used to reduce distress and build more effective coping skills.
Marcela brings six years of professional experience and frames therapy as a partnership. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every conversation. The plan in therapy is adjusted to fit each person's needs and pace.
If someone wants to start, Marcela asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. She supports people who want to get clearer about life purpose, improve communication, address body image or shame, or cope with loneliness and workplace stress.
How online approaches like CBT and EMDR work
Marcela uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT typically involves setting clear goals, trying small behavioral experiments, and tracking progress over time to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, known as EMDR, when past memories continue to cause distress. EMDR helps process those memories so they feel less overwhelming and intrusive in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marcela discusses options with each person and chooses methods based on their goals, needs, and comfort level. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as therapy unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for a full face-to-face conversation, phone calls can fit into a break at work or require less bandwidth, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging lets people write between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
